MSD Dizzy

[buffblazer]

well my HEI dizzy is taking a dump so instead of fixing little things and keeping it stock, i want to just replace it and start fresh.

now i have the MSD box and then Accel super wires and ac delco plugs all with less than 5k on them so im ok there just the dizzy

now i plan on running a blower very shortly, and i was wondering what MSD distributer would be the best for me since they seem to make so many

it will be on a 86 k5 with a 350

What kind of blower are you planning on? This might dictate which distributor you'll need.

 

[buffblazer]

the holley 177 blower or the 142 or 144 cant remember which it is

Are you staying carbed and does your current distributor have a vacuum advance and mechanical advance or neither?

No, your box will work with it just fine, it means that distributor doesn't NEED a box to work. Some MSD distributors require a box in order to work but this one does not although it will accept a box just as the factory HEI would.

ahh good, i like that better than needing it. that way if my box fails on the trail im not screwed.

anything else i need to go with it?

I know you said your wires are new but i've had trouble with accel wires many years ago. I use nothing but MSD wires now and have never had a problem and i've had the same set on an engine for 10+ years. Just something to look out for, if you don't have any problems with them then run them.

i will keep that in mind. thanks
